§ Mr. Arthur Lewisasked the Minister for the Civil Service, pursuant to her reply to the hon. Member for Newham, North-West on 16 April, why she will not pay civil servants £44 a day attendance allowance on the same basis as a Member of the House of Lords as a means of resolving the Civil Service dispute.
§ Mr. HayhoeThere are a number of objections to the hon. Member's proposal, the chief one being that the cost would be considerably in excess of the cash limit on Civil Service pay this year.
